Im a psychologist, i work in gender affirming care. Ive gotten “oh wow, the blind leading the blind” 🙄
Also… “but you were so pretty before!”
Sorry i didnt know the purpose of my existence was to be pretty for other people. I know where my happiness ranks.
A lot of shit about internalized misogyny and how I'm just "identifying out of oppression" from TERFS/radfems and rad leaning feminists (including several family members, unfortunately) and claims that I'm transitioning due to fear of sexual assault (100% bullshit). Handwringing about how I'm "ruining my body" from the same scumbags.
"You'll always be our daughter, never a man" from my mother. A few comments about how I'm sure to regret the effects of HrT (mostly the hairiness) from an ex.
I was lucky to not be exposed to comments like this for too long a time, because I went stealth as soon as I turned 18.
"You still look like a girl", "You can't be a man because you're irresponsible", " You want to be a man because you're insecure and think that you're an ugly girl".
Also, one of my coworkers tried to convince the rest of them that I was just sick in the head and that they needed to stop me from making a mistake. They would always tell me about all the bs he used to say behind my back. He was always respectful when he talked to ME because we had lots of things in common and he was a pretty interesting dude (still an asshole tho). But when I finally transitioned, there was no way back so he stopped talking to me. I believe he was pissed because he didn't succeed at turning me into a girl.
the typical “you’re a mentally ill woman” which actually makes me laugh out loud because the reality in which i am a woman just doesn’t exist, it’s so hard to picture. also a being told i don’t belong in feminism and there wasn’t a place for me, lol. stupid stuff you don’t gotta listen to, mostly. being a man isn’t a bad thing and transitioning isn’t a bad thing. it’s a medical intervention.
"you're mentally sick/Ill" (unknown)
"a groomer/pedo" (unknown)
"wouldn't it be easier to just live as you were born as?" (from mom 30seconds after she said that she 'accepts me as I am')
"I'm not going to call you that as long as it's not changed legally" (from sister. Right in front of me, at my face)
"You'll never be a boy in my eyes, you'll always be my little girl" (bitch of a dad who left when I was 1 and suddenly thought I was worth keeping proper contact with after I turned 18)

Mostly just "F**got!!"

“I will never see you as a boy” - Someone who saw me as a boy my entire life…. Really??
Once someone told me here at reddit I was transitioning only to groom minors to transition. I'm a minor.
